POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On the home-and-home series against Laval:

They've both been very high. They've been physical contests. More tempers were flaring tonight. It's really turning into a bit of a rivalry which is really good for us. What is a very different season not playing a lot of different opponents, this is good for our team to have some fire under them. have an opponent to compete against. The other teams in the league are really tough to beat but just in terms of that rivalry feeling, this is starting to feel like that these last two games. It'll be interesting moving forward when we play them next. It'll be a really tough game and every game to be like this really.

On the comeback in the third period:

In the second period, we really started working more, moving our feet. There were some guys working, some guys not. We got disconnected. If we don't have all five guys together executing what we need them to execute with the effort, we're not as competitive as we should be. In the second period, we started working. We didn't give up as many chances as we did in the first. As we started moving and working, we started drawing more penalties and the momentum starts to build in our favour. Really happy with the group that they found their way after what was a struggling first and then going into the third, we just continued to build on that momentum. There were for sure some things we could have done better. We could have had a better start but a heck of a job for our group to find a way back into this game, to keep chipping away, to make a big push towards the end and find a way to get a point.
